Microsoft wants to speed up Fallout 5 development

There have been many reports and signs that work on The Elder Scrolls VI is now in full swing at Bethesda, while they are also continuing work on Starfield, both in terms of maintenance and new content.

In addition, they are also working in some capacity on Fallout 5, where we previously reported that the creators of the Amazon Prime series Fallout were given some advance information so that the story would not clash with the upcoming game.

But when will it be released? Unfortunately, that seems like a very, very long time, and Bethesda has repeatedly said that they will release The Elder Scrolls VI first – which is likely several years away. But now there is a glimmer of hope.

After the huge success of the Fallout series and the increased interest in the games, Microsoft is now looking to speed up work on the next adventure, and in the latest episode of the Xbox Two podcast, Windows Central’s stalwart editor Jez Corden says that the Xbox team wants to find a solution:

“They’re currently formulating plans on how to get the next Fallout here for us sooner rather than later. That’s what they’re talking about, from what I understand.”

A possible solution could be that Obsidian – which previously made Fallout: New Vegas (and has employees from the creators of the first two main games in the series) – is tasked with creating an intermediate game so that Bethesda can continue working on Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI before they seriously tackle Fallout 5.

A solution at least we would appreciate, as Fallout: New Vegas is often considered the series’ best game from the last 20 years. What do you think Microsoft and Bethesda should do to satisfy Fallout fans’ cravings for new adventures?
